Make sure you modify the log4j.xml.  Note that the FileAppender is set up 
with a dynamic variable:  "${BarracudaDiscRack.log.home}".  Change 
"BarracudaDiscRack" to the name of your context.  For instance, if your 
context path is "/myapp", then it would be "${myapp.log.home}".  Look at 
sample.log4j.xml in BarracudaDiscRack and notice that this value is 
dynamically generated by the build using a filter copy of sample.log4j.xml 
to log4j.xml.

Now, in the web.xml, make sure that you have....

<listener>
         <listener-class>
         org.apache.log4j.servlet.InitContextListener
         </listener-class>
</listener>

That listener class will determine the location of the [context 
name].log.home variable dynamically.  Output will go to file if you haven't 
changed the <appender-ref ref="A2"/> in the <root> logger.  Make sure to 
add your other loggers to the log4j.xml if you want things logged.  You can 
also change this at runtime since confgureAndWatch is done by 
default.  Additionally, you can put the barracuda-config.jar in your app 
and add the following to your event-gateway.xml file...

<event-gateway class="org.enhydra.barracuda.config.BarracudaConfig" />

Then you can go to http://localhost:8080/myapp/GetBConfig.event

You can now turn on and off various loggers and set different levels.

Let me know if you still have problems logging.
